The main pool area is found on the 3 ½ acre Ol' Man Island. Here you'll find a 12,980 square foot pool with a water slide, a spa, a children’s wading pool and a playground. Lifeguards, flotation devices (for sale or rent) and pool towels are found at the main pool. Five quiet pools are spread throughout the resort area. There are change rooms/restroom facilities at each pool area.

TIP: Guests of Disney's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside are welcome to use the pool facilities at its sister resort next door, Disney's Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter, as well.

Besides swimming, there are many other "water-related" activities to be found here.
